1260 CNC Wire Forming Machine with Chamfering & Grooving Unit for Linkage Rods
1260 CNC Wire Forming Machine with Chamfering & Grooving Unit
The Yinfeng 1260 CNC Wire Forming Machine is a heavy-duty camless forming platform designed for wire diameters from Φ2.0–6.0 mm.
For manufacturers producing linkage rods and formed wire components that require additional end processing, the machine can be customized with chamfering and grooving units.
Instead of producing the formed part first and then transferring it to separate machines for secondary machining, the customized system can integrate forming and end processing into one automated production workflow.
Wire Feeding → Straightening → CNC Forming → Cutting → End Chamfering → Grooving → Finished Part
Why Add Chamfering and Grooving?
Many linkage rods and formed wire components require more than bending. Their ends must often fit into holes, clips, bushings, latches, pivots or retaining systems.
Chamfered End
Chamfering removes sharp cut edges and creates a controlled lead-in, helping the rod enter plastic connectors, bushings, mounting holes and other mating components more smoothly.
Retaining Groove
A circumferential groove can provide a defined position for an E-clip, retaining ring, locking clip or other axial-retention component.
Integrated Processing
Combining forming, chamfering and grooving can reduce secondary machining, manual transfer, repeated positioning and work-in-process handling.

Recommended 1260 Processing Solution
The main value of the customized Yinfeng 1260 is the ability to combine multiple processes in one production platform.
Servo CNC Wire Feeding
Wire Straightening
Multi-Axis CNC Forming
Automatic Cutting
End Chamfering
Groove Processing
Automatic Part Discharge
The exact process sequence and auxiliary units should be configured according to the customer's part drawing, material, groove dimensions, chamfer requirements and production capacity.
Main Processing Functions
CNC Wire Feeding
Servo-controlled wire feeding provides repeatable length control and accurate positioning before forming.
Multi-Axis CNC Forming
The camless forming system can produce complex 2D and 3D linkage geometries without relying on traditional cam arrangements.
Automatic Cutting
The formed component can be cut automatically according to the programmed production sequence.
End Chamfering
Chamfering can remove sharp edges and create a controlled lead-in for holes, bushings, plastic connectors and other mating components.
Groove Processing
Grooves can be produced for:
E-Clips
Retaining Rings
Locking Clips
Axial Positioning
Mechanical Retention
Groove width, diameter, depth and position should be manufactured according to the customer's component drawing and mating retaining system.
Typical Production Flow
Wire Feeding → CNC Forming → Length Control & Cutting → Chamfering → Grooving → Part Discharge
1. Wire Feeding
Wire is automatically fed into the forming area according to the programmed component length.
2. CNC Forming
The forming tools create the required 2D or 3D component geometry.
3. Cutting
The component is separated automatically at the programmed position.
4. Chamfering
The required end receives the specified chamfer or edge treatment.
5. Grooving
A retaining groove or customized groove is processed according to the finished part drawing.
6. Finished Part Discharge
The finished component is discharged for inspection, assembly or downstream processing.
When the 1260 Is the Right Choice
The customized 1260 is especially suitable for parts requiring:
2D or 3D Wire Forming
Multiple Bends
Chamfered Ends
E-Clip or Retaining-Ring Grooves
Special End Structures
Integrated Forming and End Processing
When Dedicated Pin Equipment May Be Better
Not every grooved or chamfered component requires a CNC camless wire forming machine.
Simple straight components such as:
Straight Clevis Pins
Straight Dowel Pins
Simple Straight Grooved Shafts
Straight Retaining Pins
If the component has no bending requirement and only requires cutting, chamfering and grooving, a dedicated automatic pin-processing line may provide higher productivity. The 1260 provides the greatest advantage when wire forming and end machining must be integrated into the same process.
Wire Diameter & Suitable Materials
Wire Diameter: Φ2.0–6.0 mm
The exact forming and end-processing capability depends on material tensile strength, hardness, component geometry, groove dimensions and chamfer requirements.
Carbon Steel Wire
Stainless Steel Wire
Spring Steel Wire
Alloy Steel Wire
Galvanized Steel Wire
Other Suitable Round Wire Materials

Yes. Chinese and English are available, and additional languages such as Spanish, Russian and Turkish can be customized according to customer requirements.
How long does it take to learn machine operation?
Operators with CNC or wire-forming experience can normally understand basic operation quickly. Yinfeng provides machine operation and programming training.
Can one operator manage multiple machines?
Under stable automatic production conditions, one operator may supervise multiple machines depending on component complexity and factory production arrangement.
Can different materials be used?
Yes. Different steel wire materials can be processed after tooling and machine parameters are adjusted according to the material properties.
Can production parameters be modified during production?
Relevant forming parameters can be adjusted through the CNC control system when process optimization is required.
